Final verdict
Everyone lost the court case
![Page 16: Governance in the Marine Environment Dr Tom Appleby Blue Marine Foundation / UKOTCF UWE, Bristol](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051216/5697c0191a28abf838cce5c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Recommendations
• It is not enough to just do the conservation science• The legal landscape needs to be fully understood– Historic access rights– Relations with neighbouring states
• Need to understand decision-making framework of natural resource management and play by those rules
• Most importantly tell a complete story to avoid becoming the narrative in other people’s tales
